About:
Like anything else supervision can become habitual and lose the creative edge. I wish to provide a safe, inspiring, creative, yet challenging and professional space for you to explore your therapy wok. Supervision is designed to keep the creative juices flowing. So, I offer an environment where we can both be honest and keep this a valuable, nurturing, robust environment for reflective and reflexive practice.
Supervision exists for numerous reasons, some being:
-To encourage high quality therapy to provide value to clients.
-To help supervisees have a better (more integrated) sense of the therapeutic process.
-To help supervisees develop principles of best ethical professional practice.
-To help supervisees grow in professional confidence.
-To help supervisees explore alternative ways to understand particular client issues.
-To help supervisees develop their own unique therapeutic style.
-It should be collegial and include the elements of: normative (whats happening), formative (educative) and restorative (self care).
-To protect clients
